Abstract

The purpose of this work was to study NO-synthase gene polymorphic variants in term of asthma occurrence. Clinical and functional characteristics of asthma with regards to different NO-synthase gene polymorphic variants were analyzed in 250 asthmatic children aged 7 to 14 years under the 12-wk standard basic therapy for asthma. We used the typical spectrum of tests for children with asthma and molecular genetic methods. Polymorphism at the promotor region of the NO-synthase gene was found to be associated with phenotype of pathogenic features of asthma and was an important part of inherited predisposition to asthma.
